    So the information itself had no bearing on peoples thoughts just the propaganda ? Are seizures a sign of vitality now?

    WOW. How'd you like to look across the breakfast table at that every morning? Or perhaps she has a nice personality? Nahhh!

    Finally an interesting argument from a Trumpster.

    So there is a correlation between the sales of a book and the credibility of its author.

    So Michael Wolff and Bob Woodward are highly credible.

    I like your logic.

    Good point, but the problem appears to be that some easily duped people actually still trust CNN. And they get to vote! Can you believe it??

    It worked so well on you, you're still convinced she was having seizures.

    CNN isn't half as bad as it is made out to be.

    In fact I never mentioned credibility related to book sales, Bob Woodward or Michael Wolfe. Nonetheless, it's always nice to hear from a faithful CNN viewer.

    While I don’t watch CNN, I care because CNN shapes the thoughts of the people who riot and commit arson. CNN even justified Antifa’s violence.

    And a very good reality TV host he was. Without the Trumpster the show got cancelled.

    But, as CNN ratings fall, it suggests that the number of stupid people must be shrinking. That has to be taken as a positive.

    I agree. It's more like 98% of what it's made out to be. The rest is exaggeration.

    I'm not associated with any of the groups who were in Charlottesville, but from I recall, a leftist group tried to protest and shout down a group they didn't agree with (shocker, right?) and one idiot went too far. But do you remember Fegruson, Baltimore, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Cincinnati, Detroit, Watts, Miami, Oakland, Anaheim, St Louis, and Newark?

    Liberals throw the best and largest riot parties.

    You have it wrong as usual but nothing new there. I remember so many right wing fiascos over the last few decades.

    And you will remember that the far right was terrified of the far left in those decades.

    So understand no one is bothered by far right threats.

    You remember so many but don't cite one.

    Santa Barbara, Cal State Fullerton, Berkeley, Sonoma, and so on. The far right talks big then runs away.

    Hitting a right wing Nazi every day
    Is the true American way

    here's the network the left and Acosta is defending:

    Cuomo admits to helping Clinton and promoting her campaign

    Cuomo denies unmasking

    Cuomo says it's illegal to possess stolen documents but it's different for the media

    Cuomo defends Muslims chopping off heads if someone says something negative about them and 'goes too far."

    Cuomo is all over the place defending Clinton and Benghazi.
